The spring rains also left hydropower plants in Eastern Turkey with a surplus of power, which is then exported to the population centers in Western Turkey. At the time of the blackout, sufficiently many transmission lines and capacitor banks had been removed from service that the system was no longer in an (n-1)-secure state.An analysis of large-scale transmission power blackouts from 2005 to 2016 Maxime Velay Meritxell Vinyals Yvon Besanger Nicolas Retière 53rd International Universities Power Engineering Conference Sep 2018 Glasgow 8541901 10.1109/UPEC.2018.8541901 hal-02330748 https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02330748/file/article_MaximeVelay_IEEE.pdf When the Osmanca – Kurşunlu line tripped, the remaining East-West connections failed.ENTSOE, Report on Blackout in Turkey on 31 March 2015, 21 September 2015 The electric system in Turkey split in half at CET 09:36:11 and separated from the Central European (CE) synchronous zone, i.e. connecting lines to Greece and Bulgaria also tripped.2015-04-02 Explained: How 76 million people were hit by Turkey's worst blackout since 1999 https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/explained-how-76-million-people-were-hit-by-turkeys-worst-blackout-since-1999-80442 2024-03-13 Hürriyet Daily News en This was the reason that the disturbances only had effects in Turkey and did not cascade to neighbouring countries. The two parts inside Turkey behaved differently. The Western part suffered from a lack generation (21%) and frequency went down. Load shedding schemes did stabilize the frequency, but as some power plants in Turkey did not cope with running at reduced frequency, additional power was lost and resulted in a blackout of the Western part. The Eastern part suffered from hydropower oversupply (41%) that wasn't able to flow westward.Sabadus Aura Turkey's blackout caused by line maintenance, hydro production oversupply http://www.icis.com/resources/news/2015/04/16/9876979/turkey-s-blackout-caused-by-line-maintenance-hydro-production-oversupply-teias/ www.icis.com September 2, 2017 April 16, 2015Turkey's 10-Hour Blackout Shows Threat to World Power Grids https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-01/turkish-blackout-shows-world-power-grids-under-threat Bloomberg.com subscription The Eastern part was accelerated by ca. 1.6 Hz/s and culminated at 52.3 Hz. Power plants tripped due to overfrequency and the initially oversupplied Eastern part collapsed at underfrequency values less than 47.0 Hz. At 16:12 (CET) - ca. 6.5 hours after the blackout - the Western and Eastern part were resynchronised, while the Turkish grid was already about 80% energized. At 18:30 almost 95% of the loads were served again.
